You’ll Start To See A Change

Can You See It? (You Will)
Can You See It? (You Will)

Do you consciously try to improve a little bit every day? Personally? Professionally?

Really not trying to annoy you, but I’ve spent 27 years of my life working for an organization that epitomizes excellence and continuous improvement, and epitomizes being the best – not one of the best, but THE best.

It was only a matter of time before the pace picked up.

That time has arrived.

Thanks to a ticking clock. Thanks to the iPad.

I wish I could tell you that I’ll wait for you, you know, until your ready to start living. But that’s now impossible.

There are 80 million blogs out there. There are 180,000 books written every year. A gazillion websites.

How does one capture the attention and interest of like-minded people?  If you’re a business owner, a leader, a manager – how do you do it? The same way as everyone else?

Run, jeff, Run

Life’s big decisions. Life’s big choices.

I think about them, like many people do – in fact, just like you do.

The big difference between having work-life balance, work-life wellness, is in the approach we take. This is a no-brainer. It’s that simple.

If we take a casual approach, we get casual results.

Skip Knew What He Was Doing

Visionary Tool?
Visionary Tool?

After all, Skip is a Marine.  And, he’s been a friend, for like 30 years. We roomed together for a year while in college.

If you read yesterday’s comment, Skip accomplished his “mission”. I knew he was baiting me, but couldn’t resist his bait.

And if you read my reply to his comment, you would have discovered that what I’ve shared so far is literally just the tip of the iceberg. The vision for how these five blogs can make a significant impact on humanity will blow your mind.

It will be revealed as time passes. While the audience is our son (9), everyone who has a desire to do good and decent work is invited. Most likely, if you visit here regularly, you also have a desire to be a better person, and you also dream crazy impossible dreams.

Not For Nuthin’

Yeah, Not For Nuthin'
Yeah, Not For Nuthin’

Yesterday, our good friend Skip, posed a question in the comments. Knowing that many of you might not catch the comments, wanted to share it right here, right now – not for nuthin’:

Jeff, how do you define success for your five blogs?

Readership? Participation? Pro vs Con comments?

What is your ultimate goal with these five blogs? Make people think? Make people change? Help people change themselves?

Why should we care that you have produced five blogs per day (without missing a single day) for over one year?

Some of your readers weren’t around when you started this quest. Help us understand the importance of this endeavor.

Great questions Skip. Seriously. All of them have been answered already. As time goes by, the answers get buried deeper and deeper in the past posts.

It’s one of life’s challenges, to sort out what to believe and from whom.

Summary, just for you:
1. I write for Chapin (and myself).
2. The big goal is to challenge 3% of the male Baby Boomers to do something GREAT before they die.
3. The ultimate purpose is to raise enough money until a cure is found for Crohn’s disease.

Note. Superficial measures of success are the things you first described.
There is no reason to care what I do, unless a person is looking for an honest to God real person who practices what he preaches. Ain’t many of them around, I fear. If there are, they are quietly changing the world – and perhaps they ought to make some noise because the world needs many “real” people trying to serve a greater good.

And by real, I mean someone not motivated by personal wealth, who makes mistakes, and never gives up, and pushes/pulls others to do the same.

Does that help?  🙂
